I would imagine lots of others, Africans and Native Americans come to mind, would trade histories of persecution with the Jews.

The fact is, history is a bitch. Do we keep doing the same, or is there hope. Looking at Israel, there doesn't seem to be much hope there, just one more Iron Age tribe killing the neighbors.

The problem with the law of the jungle, is once the alpha dog starts to get tired, the beta dogs start snapping at its heels.

Israel is pretty dependent on that fat American payout and that well will dry up when we do blow up the dollar.

Jesus is no more going to save our sorry asses, than those ISIS fighters get their 72 virgins.

The larger the crowd, the lower the common denominator. That's why religions seem like simple ideas for simple minds. Because they are.
